Novenia S. E. Freire, Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. 24 (34): 296 (1986)

Type: Gnaphalium tunariense Kuntze = Novenia tunariensis (Kuntze) S. E. Freire = Novenia acaulis (Wedd. ex Benth. & Hook. f.) S. E. Freire & F. Hellwig. Note: Nesom & Robinson (2006: 299) cited the incorrect authority for the type. The name provided by Schultz Bipontinus (based on Weddells determination) was a nom. nud.; the validating Latin diagnosis was provided in Bentham & Hookers Genera Plantarum, but under Dolichogyne, at the end of their treatment of Lepidophyllum (q.v. Bentham & Hooker, 1873: 257258).

Note: The authority of this taxon is corrected here since Dolichogyne acaulis was validly described in Genera Plantarum. The basionym was oddly lectotypified by Freire & Hellwig, especially since Bentham & Hooker f., and Jackson, would have seen the material in K, but not necessarily in the BM to describe it. Since it is accepted that whilst Bentham is the author of the Compositae account Bentham & Hooker f. are to be taken as authors of any novelties, unless specifically stated. Cabrera (1955: 210, 1975:255) very strangely included the two names, Dolichogyne acaulis and Lepidophyllum acaule in the synonymy of Psila caespitosa and Baccharis acaulis respectively. Freire (1986), Freire & Hellwig (1990) and Dillon & Sagstegui Alva (1991) placed it in the Inuleae, but Anderberg (1991) left it unplaced in the Asteroideae (but not in the Plucheae or Gnaphalieae), as did Bremer (1994); Nesom (1994) finally placed the genus in the subtribe Hinterhuberinae Cuatrec. of the Astereae.
